Ep 1. A Girl and Her Gumlump

In "Mysticons" season 2 episode 1, titled "A Girl and Her Gumlump," the audience is re-introduced to the four teenage girls who make up the Mysticons: Arkayna, Zarya, Piper, and Emerald. They are all called by their respective animal familiars to the magical library, to find that their leader and mentor, the original Mysticon, has disappeared. In her place is a new Mysticon, named Proxima Starfall, who comes off as aloof and cold. The girls are wary of her and quickly learn that Proxima is hiding something from them - specifically, she has her own magical familiar in the form of a Gumlump (a small, adorable creature that looks like a cross between a teddy bear and a penguin).

The Gumlumps are said to exist in a pocket dimension that only a very powerful mage can access. Mysticon Dragon Mage is currently the only one who has this power. During the episode, Proxima is shown conversing with the Gumlump, hinting at a possible alliance between the two of them. However, the Gumlump appears to be in distress, and Proxima restricts any access the Mysticons have to her familiar or to her own past.

As the girls try to uncover more information about Proxima, they also have to deal with a new villain, a bounty hunter named Tazma Grimm. Tazma is after the Gumlumps and is willing to do whatever it takes to get them - including unleashing a monstrous creature and attacking the Mysticons. The girls have no choice but to work with Proxima in order to save her Gumlump from Tazma's clutches.

The episode doesn't offer much in terms of character development or new plot lines, but it does introduce an intriguing new character in Proxima Starfall and sets up a new arc for the Mysticons to follow. It also leaves a lot of questions unanswered, such as who Proxima really is and what her true motivations are. The addition of the Gumlumps is sure to please younger viewers and add some cuteness to the show.

One thing that is notable about the episode is the continued focus on the Mysticons working together as a team. Each girl brings her own unique skills and personality to the group. The episode also stresses the importance of trust and honesty between the girls, as they learn to rely on each other in moments of danger. In the end, they are able to defeat Tazma and save Proxima's Gumlump - but the mystery surrounding the new Mysticon still remains.

Overall, "A Girl and Her Gumlump" sets the stage for an exciting new season of "Mysticons." While it may not be the most action-packed episode, it offers enough intrigue and character moments to keep viewers interested. It's a promising start to what could be a great season.
